A jar of applesauce is supposed to weigh 18 ounces. The company is trying to determine if its applesauce is overweight. Let µ = average ounces in a jar of applesauce. You want to test the following:
A random sample of 20 jars yields xbar = 18.2 ounces and s = 0.4 ounces. For α=0.05, what do you conclude? Assume the relevant population follows a normal random variable.
a) We fail to reject Ho, meaning that the jars are NOT overweight.
b) We fail to reject Ho, meaning that the jars are overweight.
c) We reject Ho, meaning that that the jars are NOT overweight.
d) We reject Ho, meaning that the jars are overweight.

A machine in the student lounge dispenses coffee. The average cup of coffee is supposed to contain 7.0 ounces. A random sample of eight cups of coffee from this machine show the average content to be 7.4 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.70 ounce. Do you think that the machine has slipped out of adjustment and that the average amount of coffee per cup is different from 7 ounces? Use a 5% level of significance. What are we testing...

Suppose that a company selling flu vaccines says that it’s
effective if fewer than 20% of all those who get a flu shot
actually become sick with the flu. Let p = fraction of people who
have been given the flu shot and become sick anyway. You want to
test the following:
If 75 of 300 people given the vaccine also get sick from the
flu, what would you conclude given α = 0.05?
a) We fail to reject Ho,...

A researcher believes 20% of all people are left-handed, but you
believe it might be less. In a sample of 100 people, 13 people are
left-handed. Let p = fraction of left-handed people. You want to
test the following:
Given α = 0.05, what would you conclude?
a) We reject Ho, meaning that proportion of left-handed people
is greater than or equal to 20%.
b) We reject Ho, meaning that proportion of left-handed people
is less than 20%.
c) We...

The Module5QuizData_HudsonHighSchool.xlsx spreadsheet contains the income of randomly selected families whose students attend Hudson and Cedar Falls High Schools. You want to test Ho: Hudson mean income = Cedar Falls mean income against Ha: Hudson mean income ≠ Cedar Falls mean income. For α = 0.05, what do you conclude? a) We reject Ho, because the p-value is 0.02. b) We reject Ho, because the p-value is 0.04. c) We fail to reject Ho, because the p-value is 0.12. d)...

The Nero Match Company sells matchboxes that are supposed to
have an average of 40 matches per box, with σ = 8. A
random sample of 94 matchboxes shows the average number of matches
per box to be 42.2. Using a 1% level of significance, can you say
that the average number of matches per box is more than 40?
What are we testing in this problem?
single meansingle proportion
(a) What is the level of significance?

Bill Alther is a zoologist who studies Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna).† Suppose that in a remote part of the Grand Canyon, a random sample of six of these birds was caught, weighed, and released. The weights (in grams) were as follows. 3.7 2.9 3.8 4.2 4.8 3.1 The sample mean is x = 3.75 grams. Let x be a random variable representing weights of hummingbirds in this part of the Grand Canyon. We assume that x has a normal distribution...

Two plots at Rothamsted Experimental Station were studied for production of wheat straw. For a random sample of years, the annual wheat straw production (in pounds) from one plot was as follows. 6.96 7.10 5.84 5.91 7.31 7.18 7.06 5.79 6.24 5.91 6.14 Use a calculator to verify that, for this plot, the sample variance is s2 ≈ 0.384. Another random sample of years for a second plot gave the following annual wheat production (in pounds). 5.91 5.91 5.91 5.91...
